If you are bringing home a new TV for a present this holiday season be sure you know how to properly mount it. Mounting a TV takes a lot of skill, precision, and other traits to ensure that it does not fall off the wall. There’s too many stories and videos going around of improperly mounted TVs crashing to the ground because they were not mounted properly.
Here’s how you should mount a clear TV to the wall. Each and every room is designed differently from house to house. That’s why you need to choose the right height before mounting a TV to the wall. Sit in your chair or on the couch while two people hold the TV against the wall at different heights. You need to get a sense of how comfortable you are looking at the screen before you decide on a spot for mounting.
Once you pick the height for the TV you can begin to make your measurements. Check them multiple times before drilling holes in the wall. Use the instructions provided with the mount to ensure that you are measuring out the proper distances between screws. Make sure the brackets are screwed to the TV before you move further along in the mounting process.
Never start a project unless you have all of the proper tools needed. You don’t want to get halfway through and have to stop because you are missing a tool. This type of project requires an adjustable wrench, a drill, a tape measure, drywall saw, level, utility knife, socket set, stud finder and screwdrivers.
If you are planning to mount your new TV to the wall in your home, be sure you follow the steps outlined in this post to ensure that it does not come crashing down into a million pieces.
